About Us

Who We Are

The African American Network Against Alzheimer’s will unify the powerful voice of the African American community on the issue of Alzheimer’s disease. We will arm African Americans and others who are committed to our mission with the information and easy-to-use connections needed to be heard by the public, in Washington and in state capitals, and by industry leaders and the research community. Our goal is to engage and connect a network of individuals, businesses, and nonprofit organizations to mobilize the energy of African Americans in advocacy efforts that advance our national commitment to ending Alzheimer’s.

Learn

Despite there being 5 million victims of Alzheimer’s in the U.S., most Americans aren’t aware of the extent and impact of the disease and that African Americans are twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's as others.

Clinical Trials

Research to find a treatment or cure for Alzheimer's can't happen unless people of all races volunteer for clinical trials to make sure drugs are both safe and effective for everyone. We can all participate and should.
